Main character is basically a nonreactive person in an unchanging state of negativism about life due to having lost family members during the Holocaust. Despite the author's introduction of people and situations offering love and life-affirming options for healing, the main charactrr remains stubbornly and superstitiously convinced that life is not worth living. Do not pick up this book if you're depressed or for insight into how the families of Holocaust victims survived.
